Physical microenvironment of platelet membrane in acute myocardial infarction.
Patients with acute myocardial infarction have more reactive platelets than those from normal population. These pathological platelets had more viscous plasma membrane, as inferred from fluorescence polarisation studies, and a lower fusion activation energy (delta E) of the membrane, reflecting a higher degree of order within lipid-lipid interactions.
